Designing and living Experiences

From my resent visit to Amsterdam, because was spring and because I wanted to see as much as I could, I went to the Keukenhof Park, also known as the Garden of Europe. The experience is just amazing, being surrounded of nature and the beautiful of the colours is just incredible.

As I have found that I like to paint flowers I decided to take as many photos as possible, for one reason to study the shapes of the flowers and for another more inspiring one is to keep a record of the millions of combinations that nature make with colours. It’s just impressive how works so well together in the proper proportion colours. Having these examples of colours hopefully will help me as an inspiration when I’m painting or new examples of how to mix colours when I need for more important reasons. By the end of the day I got hundreds of photos, and I want to share with you.

Eventstweets (www.eventweeps.com) is the first directory for Twitter users that its business are related to the Events Industry.

The directory was launched in an event at the London Sea Aquarium last Tuesday April 14th, which only people who have a Twitter acount could attend.

The organisers and co-founders of this amazing idea were Peter Kerwood (@pkerwood) head of Marketing of Merlin Events and Mike Fletcher, events journalist Mike Fletcher (@MikeFletch) and what they are looking for is to help the search for other twitters to find out in the Twitter world what is happening in the Events Industry. For pictures of the event take a look here by Henry Stuart (@henrystuart).

I think is fantastic, I have been using Twitter (@magdanieto) for the last couple of months, and have found it very useful to keep updated and talk to people that in real life wouldn’t be that easy. Even that the conversations are not that long, helps to get an easy approach to everyone who is there.

Coming from the Supersonic’s website here it is the call for people who might be interest to become part of this year festival team. The festival is looking for Interns and volunteers.
